Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The primary study parameters are goal-conflict, adherence to self-management
recommendations and subjective well-being.
Secondary outcome
The secondary endpoint is glycemic control.
Background summary
Type 1 diabetes, which is a chronic and as yet incurable condition, requires an
intensive and challeng¬ing self-management regimen. This includes daily
treatment with insulin, frequent blood glucose tests, close monitoring of food
intake and regular exercise. Adherence to diabetes self-management
recommendations is very important in order to minimize serious long-term
diabetes complications. Studies have shown, however, that adherence to these
recommendations is difficult, especially for young adults. Young adulthood is a
period of growing independence and exploration and many young adults report
difficulty fitting diabetes management in their daily lives. We propose that
this problem is partly the result of a conflict between patients* diabetes
self-management tasks and personally meaningful goals in other life domains,
but this has not been studied yet.
Study objective
The study has the following aims:
1. To get insight in goal-conflict i.e. the personal goals of young adults
with type 1 diabetes mellitus and the extent to which their goals conflict with
diabetes self-management tasks
2. To get insight in individual differences in goal conflict.
3. To investigate the impact of goal-conflict i.e. the associations between
goal conflicts, diabetes related functioning (adherence to diabetes
self-management recommendations, glycemic control) and subjective-well-being.
4. To get insight in the goal conflict management strategies of young adults
with type 1 diabetes
Study design
Cross-sectional observational study. The study which will be carried out in two
substudies. Study 1, which addresses study aims 1,2,3, employs a quantitative
design. The study has one-time assessment by means of a questionnaire. Study 2
(aim 4) has a qualitative design and consists of a semi-structured interview
and a 4 day diary (the first dairy will be filled in during the interview).
Study burden and risks
Study 1: study participants will receive a link to a one-time online
questionnaire. The expected time to fill in questionnaire is 30 minutes. Study
2: involves a 45 minutes semi-structured interview (about goal-conflict and
strategies to deal with goal-conflict) and a 4-day diary. The diary (of which
the first day is filled in during the interview) has to be filled in once a day
(15 minutes/day). The risk of study participation is negligible, no invasive
procedures are performed and neither the questionnaire nor the interview/diary
is expected to cause any discomfort. Given the nature of the study, no SAE*s
are to be expected.*
